A United Voice
Formed in 2005, PANL is the association representing paramedic practitioners in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our members have access to training tools, professional insurance, mental health support, and much more. We are the voice of our members and a public advocate for this critical profession. PANL supports our members like they support the emergent health needs of the people of this province.
There When You Need Us
Paramedic practitioners in Newfoundland and Labrador are the first to assess and treat patients, often before they reach a doctor or nurse. In our profession we provide the highest quality of care with compassion, respect, and dignity. PANL is there for its members, so they can be there for you.
Meet the Board of Directors of PANL
Rodney Gaudet, ACP, MFS
Rodney Gaudet grew up in rural P.E.I. His father was a volunteer firefighter for 25 years so Rodney was always around the fire hall. When he turned 20, he joined the volunteer fire department and he quickly realized he wanted to help people in need. Rodney got interested in the medical side of the fire department and applied to the Primary Care Paramedicine program at Holland College and started his studies in 2006. He started working for Island EMS upon graduation and applied to the Advanced Care Paramedicine program, which he graduated in 2008. In the summer of 2010, personal reasons brought him to St. John’s, NL, where he began working with Eastern Health. Since 2013, Rodney has been working on the flight team in St. John’s. He is also a lieutenant with the Torbay Volunteer Fire Department.
